I dont understand if all these guys had good camps how do you just hand Nakamura the Job? A career backup/special teamer.

He got the job for one reason and one reason only. His comunication in the secondary. Martin doesn't/didn't possess that trait. Unfortunately in this case it didn't make up for his physical shortcomings. If we could morph them together we might have a decent FS.

If I'm the boss, during the bye week, I bring in a bunch of safeties who are currently on the street and choose one, maybe two. Then I'd ask Nak and Martin for their play books and give them directions to the light rail. Seattle will go at our safeties right away. Every team will.

It really makes me wonder who is making the ultimate decisions when it comes to personnel.

I know its waaaay early and people may not think its very smart. Buuuuut! I'd love to draft Amerson and play him at FS. Dude has all the skills to be a top saftey and he's young with room to add on weight.

back to Sherrod tho...why in the world coaches didn't keep more safeties on the 53 is still very confusing to me. Jordan Pugh and Reggie Smith were good players. Could have at least brought about more compettion for this subpar safety group

I love Amerson, but that dude has been NC State's worst player on defense by far this season... There are some State fans that want him benched.

Not to derail this great Martin thread...but I know he had a bad 1st game against Tenn. I thought he's been much improved since, plus teams have avoided him to a degree. Still think he'd be great at safety. Anyway,back to Sherrod.
